404 is an HTTP response from a server you've already found, not a DNS response saying DNS can't find the server. (That's an NXDOMAIN response.) And no, I don't want Comcast intercepting and replacing 404 responses, either!
Now, if Comcast wants to stick an option in their Comcast toolbar browser plugin thingy that performs the same function, fine. It's opt-in by default, and it's code that only affects the browser, which makes perfect sense because the browser is the only consumer application to have problems with unresolvable names. |
